“MEAT PORTERS”

Ever since pointe shoes, male dancers have had little more to do than…well, move their more comely partners around the stage. But there are signs that choreographers are paying more attention to men these days. “Men who dance solo, it seems, are determined to use their bodies to express the kind of cogent thoughts on gender, sexuality, relationships, and the politics of society that have, in the wake of established feminism, been seen as another province where women take the lead, vocally and in terms of artistic creation.” – Glasgow Herald
